    Getting awesome photos of you in cosplay is actually super easy! All you need is a friend, a DSLR (borrowed or your own) and a lens with a fixed focal length! Thanks a lot to my amazing model Naraku for helping me with this tutorial!
    Check her out on FB: NarakuCostumes
    My equipment was a Canon 6D and a Canon 50mm/1.2f lens, though Canon T5i (700d) and a 50mm/1.8f does the same job as well for example! No need for expensive equipment. You can even borrow or share it with your cosplay friends!
    Additionally I use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
    The location was Druidenhain in the Fränkischer Schweiz, Germany.
    Let me know if you have any questions! :)

    Thanks for showing that photoshop's not an evil tool. Too often, I get comments from people on my pictures that say "That looks photoshopped" and I wonder what the big deal is. So what if it's photoshopped? That's how we can be creative with lightning, corrections and other fun stuff. I don't understand why it's considered "bad" to some people when photoshop is used. It's like they just discovered a big "secret" and want to blurt it to the world. "This girl uses photoshop to enhance her pictures!"

      Photoshop get's a bad rep because of the model industry. I'm always open about that I photoshop the crap out of me in every picture. :)

      The thing is photoshop can make things look unnatural in an unpleasant way. It can also, and in most cases, make things look more natural and pleasant, so it depends.

    Out on a whim I searched "cosplay photography" on TH-cam and was led to this video and for such a brief video I have to say it was soo informative and I really learned a lot . so with that, thanks so much and keep it up :)

    Having taken college Photoshop courses (many years ago on systems that are surely slower than my current phone), these tutorial that you guys put out are amazing and better than many of the classes I took.
    Thank you!

    This was so helpful!!! Thank you! Especially telling us what equipment and software you use! :D I really appreciate it!
    Is there any chance you could someday do a video on how to be the model for the cosplay during the shoot? Stuff like lighting, posing positions, angles, do's and don'ts etc. Anything that might help if you don't have an experienced photographer to guide you :) x

    The 50mm 1.2 is really a gem that everyone should have! If I had to choose only one lens to use ultimately I would pick it (aside from the 70-200 2.8 IS L)

    Hi! Kurze Frage - ich hab ne Canon 700D daheim, worauf muss ich achten, wenn ich mir ein vergleichbares Objektiv dafür kaufen will? Z.B. hab ich eins gefunden, das so angegeben wird "Canon Objektiv EF 50mm F1.4 USM für EOS (Festbrennweite, 58mm Filtergewinde, AF-Motor) schwarz" ist das OK?

    I personally won't open the aperture all the way open but just slightly close since usually lens isn't its sharpest when open all the way

    • @KamuiCosplay

      I know, I found no other picture than the one with 1.8f. It's called Druidenhain and is in Bavaria.

  • @CheekyFashionGRRRR
    @CheekyFashionGRRRR 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    How did you copy the settings in light room and paste them onto another photo? I’ve been trying to figure that out and it’s been a struggle.

    • @KamuiCosplay
      @KamuiCosplay  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's usually on the left lower side. There should be a copy settings tab.

      Für Anfänger wäre ein tutorial ohne eine 2000,- € Ausrüstung vorteilhafter.
      Hat nicht jeder ;-)
      Die Lightroom Effekte gefallen mir gut.
      Ich bin Portaitfotograf und muß sagen, gut und einfach erklärt.

    • @facesxy

      50mm 1,8 kostet nichtmal 100€ und ne einsteiger DSLR kostet auch 300€ ^^

    • @1stlightmaker658
      @1stlightmaker658 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Verena Valkyrie eine eos 6D Vollformat kommt ( je nach Anbieter) auf ca.1400,- plus Objektiv. Die besproche Unschärfe
      bekommt man selbst mit einem Lichtstarken Objektiv mit "Crop" Kameras nicht so schön hin wie mit Vollformaten.
